SURAH AL-BURUJ (THE CONSTELLATION) MECCAN PERIOD

1-3The literate people who has learned the Ayat of the Qur’an well, the moment of death, ruins of the people who were manipulated, destroyed and those who observe them64 is the evidence that, 12grip of your Rabb is truly severe. 13And indeed, it is only He Who has created first and then takes life and then creates again. 14And He is the One Who forgives much, loves much, the One Who is 15the owner of the greatest throne65, the most generous, 16the doer of all He intends.66

17,18Has the story of those armies; Pharaoh and Thamud come to you? Yes indeed!

4,5The companions of Uhdud/the blazing fire were killed: 6When they sat upon it 7and were witnesses to what they did to the believers. 8,9And the reason that they punished the believers was only that they believed in only Allah Who is very powerful, praiseworthy, the One Who has the dominion of the heavens/universe and the earth and the One Who witnesses all.

10Indeed, there is the punishment of Jahannah [Hell] for those who have tortured the men and the women who have believed in the fire and then have not repented, and the punishment of the fire is also for them. 11And indeed, there are gardens of Jannah [Heaven/Paradise] underneath of which rivers flow for those who have believed and done amendatory deeds. This is the great salvation.

19But those infidels; those who consciously deny the divinity of Allah and the fact that He is Rabb are still in denial. 20Yet Allah encompasses them from their behind. 21,22Rather, it is an honorable Qur’an that is guarded in a preserved tablet.
